Trenton Doyle Hancock is internationally known for his evolving, absurdist narrative of the battle between good and evil—executed across a wide variety of media that includes painting, collage, sculpture, print and the performing arts. In 2000, he was one of the youngest artists ever to be included in the Whitney Biennial, and he continues to exhibit worldwide. We’re pleased to feature his work this spring in Room, our project space.

Hancock’s singular storytelling vision is expressed through works that incorporate text, drawing, collaged paper, plastic, felt, fur, and paint to create a densely layered collision of symbols and visual tropes.

Hancock’s work is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, N.Y.; the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, Rotterdam, the Netherlands; and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; among many others worldwide. Raised in Paris, Texas, he currently lives and works in Houston.
